The folding wing requirement is there because the FBO nazis on our
field won't allow an airworthy aircraft in the museum, without paying
hangar rent, due to their noncompete contract. The aircraft will live
in my garage 1/2 mile away from the airfield when I am not
using/demonstrating it.


Hmm, would easily removable (and reinstallable) be just as acceptable?

If so, you could make one fake wing for the museum display and just
keep one real wing in your garage at home. When you wan to fly, pick
up the airplane, swing by your house, swap wings and off you go.
For that matter, the display wing could be left partly or wholly
uncovered as part of the display.

The airplane you keep at the museum would not be airworthy. Or
wil they be prissy and insist it not have an airworthyness cert?

Just don't mix up the two sets of wings when you go flying.
